Please make every effort to schedule your appointment when you can make it, and to keep your appointment. Please give us at least 24 hours notice if you cannot keep the appointment.

We hope to help you with your eye care needs. On your first visit, we will begin a permanent record. Please bring your old glasses with you even if they are broken or unsatisfactory. If you wear contacts, bring them also, as well as your contact lens case, and the packs they come in or any prescription information.

Bring a list of your medical conditions, medications and dosages, drug allergies, and insurances with current cards and photo ID.

On your arrival, we will ask you to sign in and complete a brief history and registration form. These forms are updated YEARLY or as necessary. Please arrive early to allow time to complete these forms and register in. HISTORY is vital to enable Dr. Yaros to focus on your most important concerns. ALL medical records are kept strictly CONFIDENTIAL! You will be offered a copy of our privacy notice, also posted on our website.

If your visit is for a complete exam, it may take an hour or more, so please allow time! If you have both contacts and glasses, allow ADDITIONAL time! Sometimes these exams may be done in two visits. Allow 30-60 minutes for follow-up exams.

New contact lenses cannot be prescribed without first doing a fitting or confirming that previously prescribed lenses are satisfactory. New fittings usually are only done at our Runnemede office. So, if you require a fitting at the time of your first visit, please schedule your appointment in Runnemede. Also, note that while we measure and prescribe glasses, we have no onsite optical dispensary.

Some patients require dilation of the pupils with eyedrops, which may temporarily blur their vision (especially up close) and induce light sensitivity. Bringing sunglasses is helpful, although we have them available. The effects usually wear off in a few hours but can occasionally last a day or more. Some patients also prefer someone else to drive them home.

Many of our new patients are referred by physicians or other satisfied patients. Please tell the secretary how you heard about us!

Many managed care plans require referrals and co-pays. Know your insurance plan and whether a referral or co-pay is required! It is your responsibility to make sure your coverage is up-to-date, and that appropriate referrals have been sent. Our highly trained staff can help! If referred by a doctor for a problem, bring any referral slip. If you are here for a second opinion or your case is complicated, you may choose to have your records sent in advance. We can help you arrange transfer of your old records. On your arrival, allow time for our staff to verify your coverage and referral on the date of your visit.
